Chennai Police on Tuesday conducted a drill at shopping malls in the city to check the preparedness of security agencies to deal with emergencies in the backdrop of last week`s bomb blast at Delhi.
The drill was conducted due to a `general alert` issued by the Home Ministry, top officials said.
Various wings of the city police such as its security division, Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and sniffer dogs were pressed into service at major shopping complexes like Spencer Plaza, Ampa Skywalk, Express Avenue, City Center and Alsa Mall, police said.
"No suspicious objects were found and police advised people and traders on the need to be aware," they said.
